The internal organisation of the school touches on many areas of
contemporary debate. Is there such a thing as a 'good school'? Are
large urban comprehensives necessarily impersonal? Are the charges
of indiscipline, conflict and declining standards in modern schools
based on a failure to understand schools as institutions? At the
time this book was first published sociological analysis had
neglected to consider schools as organisational entities,
preferring to see them as either the sites for negotiated
encounters between teachers and pupils or else as agencies of class
reproduction. The author redresses this imbalance and by relating
the various literatures on the school to the constitutive patterns
of its internal organisation he demonstrates the need for a more
intensive sociological study of this embattled institution.
